AI: Transcript ©
My dear respected brothers and sisters,
many many years ago I gave a Khutba
speaking about
Peppa Pig,
Britain's Got Talent.
Some of these very well known
magic shows like Harry Potter,
zodiac signs
and all of that which relates to that.
And the reason why I gave a Khutba
on these particular topics was because of
how that which is in contrary to Al
Islam
is so normalized.
You find it all around you.
Kids,
they switch on the TV,
they switch on these cartoons,
and that which they became that which they
become so glued to
is programs such as Peppa Pig.
Something of course my brothers and my sisters,
which is in contrary to the Sharia, right?
That which Allah Azzawajal clearly and explicitly mentioned,
That which I have made haram upon you
is that which has
died of animals, you cannot consume it.
Consuming blood,
and also what, the swine, the pig.
You may say to me, they're just little
little kids.
They don't know any better.
It's just a cartoon.
Right?
However, this child grows
up. Normalizing
some of these cartoons,
some of these characters,
as they grow older, and you know as
they say brothers and sisters. Right?
Al almufisirari
kanakshiv al Hajar.
Knowledge
at a very young age is like what?
Carving into a stone.
When you teach somebody something at a very
young age,
it's like carving
into a stone. Agreed?
However, when you grow older
and you want to change your habits
and your ways, it can be very very
difficult. This is why they
say, you can't teach an old dog new
tricks.
Agreed?
Very very difficult to change their ways.
So much more easier at a very young
age.
The kids,
the kids, the children,
they learn
with their eyes more than they learn with
their ears.
They learn with their eyes more than they
learn with their ears.
What they see the parents doing in front
of them.
What they see the parents
permitting for them?
Wallahi, at the age of 1, at the
age of 1, we'll say 1
and a half and after. That young infant
may even start wearing the hijab.
Wallahi Allahu alaheem brothers and sisters.
At the tender age of 1 and a
half years,
that child
because she sees
her mother wearing a hijab, she'll pick her
up and she will imitate her.
I have witnessed it
with my own two eyes.
The child may even imitate the parent in
praying.
Wallahi Alim,
the child goes down into sujud, and she's
only what? 1 and a half or 2
years of age.
The child doesn't know what she's doing.
It's not like she's trying to get closer
to Allah aasawajal,
but only doing it because the people around
them
are doing it often.
This is why the messian sallallahu alaihi was
telling me, told us.
Every newborn is born upon the fitra,
the natural disposition.
For Abba Wahu Youha Waidani.
It is the parents
that turn the child into a Jew or
into a Christian
or into a Medusi.
The biggest influencer
in that child's life
are those who around them. And who's normally
around them often? It's the parents.
And it doesn't just necessarily have to be
the 3 that are mentioned in this hadith.
The parents, they turn him into a Jew
or Christian or Majusi.
Right?
Could be any other
way that that parent follows,
that they normalize
from a very young age.
Yes, they hang around with different people.
They go to school.
They go to university, which is a breeding
ground for kufr and shirk,
atheism and all sorts. However,
who is the biggest influencer in this individual's
life? It is his parents.
That is why brothers and sisters, there is
great emphasis in the sharia,
on the role of the parent,
those who are close to this child.
So this child grows up normalising
Peppa Pig, there's nothing wrong with this pig.
And then as they grow old, because they
became so desensitized to it, is there anything
wrong with me consuming it? No.
That's the reality brothers and sisters. Anyways, my
Khutba is not about Peppa Pig.
This was just an example that I used
many many years ago,
when I was trying to make a point.
I also spoke about
Britain's Got Talent with all of these magic
shows, Harry Potter.
Little children from a very young age becoming
desensitized to what?
Magic spells.
One time I walked into Toys R Us,
and I seen little kids running around
with the magic wand, spelling,
for those who remember Harry Potter. Right?
From a very young age they normalize it.
As they grow old brothers and sisters,
because they became so desensitized to it,
a little card comes through the post.
It came through my post as well brothers
and sisters and everybody in my block. You
know what he said on there?
Visit Babu Ali.
Have you guys heard of Babu Ali?
A bright yellow card that says visit Babu
Ali or call Babu Ali.
If you have any problems in your life,
you have any hardships,
you have any
problems between you and your wife, call this
number and Babu Ali will cure all of
your problems
with his
spells and so on and so forth.
The miskeen, Muhammad and Khadija, they're sitting there,
they feel like it's a lost cause.
There's no light in the end of the
tunnel, let's call Babu Ali.
They call Babu Ali
and they don't actually realize that this individual
is a Sahir, he's a magician,
or a fortune teller.
Right? Or you find certain individuals brothers and
sisters who are wearing the garments of a
sheikh.
But in reality brothers and sisters,
who am in shayateenal
ins.
He has a beard.
He He looks like a shaykh,
but the man is practicing magic.
I'm from Lesta.
That type of practice is very very
Sihr, very very common. The more you go
up north, it is more and more problematic.
Because they don't know any better,
they engage in these practices
and they ask for
prescribed. We have in the sharia something called
Ruqyah, brothers and sisters.
An Islamic method of curing yourself.
These ta'weez that the messenger sallallahu alaihi wa
sallam spoke about,
Whoever hangs a talisman has fallen into a
shirk.
I put you to the test brothers and
sisters, a lot of the time we are
told in these ta'weez it has the name
of Allah
or it has verses of the Quran.
You open it up, wallahi,
wabilahi,
wat
This is my first hand experience.
You know when you open it up, what
it has in there?
The names of Iblis,
Qaroon,
Haman,
Firaun, Abu Lahab, Abu Jahal.
They don't know any better.
They didn't have an Islamic education from a
young age.
And they say, you know what? If this
is going to solve the problem, let me
try.
From a very young age, the point is
brothers and sisters,
a lot of evil is normalized to our
kids,
from a very very young age.
And because they don't know any better as
they grow up,
they fall into these things
a lot of the time unknowingly,
unintentionally.
What is to blame lack of knowledge that
they
weren't exposed
to? Anyways now brothers and sisters, what I
want to speak about in this Khutbah, that
was just an introduction,
but already half of the Khutbah is gone.
The messenger sallallahu
alaihi wa sallam, he said in a hadith,
yadrusul
Islam kama yadrusulwash
your soap.
Islam is going to fade away.
The same way the embroidery
on your clothes is going to fade away.
This tote that I'm wearing brothers and sisters,
I stick in a wash machine.
Once, twice, thrice.
You see the embroidery will become
faded,
the wear and tear.
We are being told Islam is going to
fade away like that.
In another hadith we are told brothers and
sisters, from the signs of the Awa is,
anyaqilalalu'ilm.
That knowledge becomes scarce.
Ignorance
becomes so widespread, wayadharal jahl. Wayadharal zina
zina likewise brothers and sisters becomes so prevalent.
And here, this hadith that I want to
stand over, Islam is going to fade away
just like the embroidery of your clothes is
going to fade away.
To the point where one will not know
the salah.
He will not know anything about his prayer.
He will not know anything about
fasting,
anything about the Hajj pilgrimage.
Issues pertaining to a zakat, he has no
knowledge of it.
Then the messenger of salallahu alaihi wa sallam
said,
The book of Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala will
be lifted from the face of this earth.
Everyone here has memorized the Fatiha write, alhamdulillahi
rabbilalamin.
Right?
The first verse of the Fatiha.
Imagine brothers and sisters, this will be
removed from the hearts of the people and
from the masahif,
from the Quran it will be removed
in one night.
SubhanAllah.
A group of people will remain on the
earth.
An old woman and an old man.
They will say
We happen to live in a time when
our parents they used to say La Illa
Illallah.
So we said it as well.
We said it as well.
Ma'al Asafashadeeth. I remember many many years ago
and just recently as well subhanAllah,
when we was in the Eid gathering with
our family members, my dad mentioned the incident
again.
He said back in around 2
No, 1998, when he was moving house
in the Netherlands,
One house to another.
My dad arrived at a new apartment and
a man was there.
So my father,
he had
an image of the Kaabdari
with Han.
The man who was living there said, oh
subhanAllah.
He didn't actually say subhanAllah but you know
what I mean, right? Wow.
You know that image, the Kaaba?
My dad used to love it.
He used to love it.
He used to have some sort of relationship
with it.
In a way where, I used to see
it but
don't know what it is.
That's back in
the nineties brothers and sisters,
as time goes on, we are told by
the messenger
There doesn't come a time except that the
time that comes after is far far worse.
Islam is going to fade away brothers and
sisters, just like the embroidery of your clothes
is going to fade away. And that is
because
of the ignorance that become so prevalent.
Many
have become enticed by the glitters and the
glamours of this world.
They have become so attached with other than
why Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala
has created us and placed us on the
face of this earth.
Brothers and sisters, we have not been created
to be businessmen.
We have not been created
to go to university. Not that I'm saying
there's anything wrong with that, la, you can
become a businessman. However,
our sole reason of existence is what,
I did not create the jinn the ins
except
to worship me alone.
That's my sole reason of existence.
Everything else is secondary not primary.
And if these secondary things are going to
affect why Allah has
created me, then I really need to think
thrice
of my way of life, right?
Ma'al Asif I Shareed.
If we just give an example brothers and
sisters of how Al Islam is fading away.
Many many years ago,
I stood outside of the
masjid and I began to interview some of
the children that were running out.
So I started asking them 1 by 1,
what is the definition of Islam?
Can you imagine brothers and sisters,
the children,
right,
that are there are maybe what 8 or
9 of them.
Not one of them was able to give
me the correct definition of a lesson.
I asked them about condensation,
evaporation,
alliteration
and all the other Shaysians.
Pythagoras theorem, a squared equals b squared plus
c squared. Mashallah tabarakallah.
From a to z,
they can give me the intricates.
They know it inside out.
Likewise, the whole method of evaporation and condensation,
how it goes up and how it comes
down. This is what I learned in science,
right? But I asked them about, Al Islam,
just give me the definition brothers and sisters,
and none of them was able to tell
me.
That's a sad reality brothers and sisters. Wallahi,
it really really is.
That one grows old, 30, 40 years of
age,
and then when it comes to the basics,
he never gave a single moment of his
life to study it. If we, we brothers
and sisters, we,
of this generation,
don't know the basics of our religion,
then how do we expect
our children
to know anything,
or even our grandchildren?
Wakanjis use culture with them because they're from
a completely different background.
Right? Their cultures are different to ours
or our parents,
who lived in Pakistan or in Somalia back
home.
They would just throw it in your face.
And that is because
we need a common entity
that governs us, that teaches us what we
should do and what we shouldn't.
Otherwise, there will just be a clash of
cultures.
An entity that is greater in all of
these cultural practices.
So what does alayhi salaam mean brothers and
sisters?
To submit to Allah Subhanahu Wa Ta'ala with
the Tawhid. The scholars of Islam,
they looked at the Quran and they seen
that the definition of Islam
consists of what? Three components.
The first one was to submit to Allah
subhanahu wa ta'ala with the tawheed.
To submit to Allah azza wa jal.
With your will brothers and sisters,
tawhid.
When we talk about tawhid, that which normally
pops to mind brothers and sisters is, do
we see anybody worshipping statues?
Why do we need to speak about a
tawhid and the opposite of a tawhid with
what a shirk? The worst sin which is
what a shirk.
A woman becomes impregnated,
right, outside of wedlock.
The whole street is speaking about what this
woman has done. It's
a big deal right? There's a murder in
the community, it's a big deal.
However brothers and sisters, when someone now practices
or carries out acts of shirk, do we
have the same response?
When a shirk is far greater than all
of the aforementioned sins.
I'll give you guys an example.
Right.
And I was the I'll put my hand
up. As I was from those who fell
short in this, as young children,
when going to school,
who from amongst us used to swear by
his mom's life?
If you swear
by Allah and you say,
no
aza wa jal in vain.
But you say,
I swear
grand's grave.
Oh, if one believes you. So just the
other day, I was dealing with a marriage
issue. I was dealing with a marriage issue.
The sister is saying to me,
when I catch up my husband with whatever
he does, he begins to swear on all
of his kids lives.
Babe, what's wrong with his brothers and sisters?
Masina Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam told us,
ever swears by other than Allah has committed
shirk.
If we die upon shirk brothers and sisters,
we are not coming out of the hellfire.
And that is because of how grave
and futile
the sin is.
SubhanAllah.
Extremely fallacious.
It's not a light matter. But if you
die with Tawhid,
the opposite of a shirk,
And you partook in major sins, not that
I'm saying,
that these are light matters, lah.
You died upon that.
You are under the will of Allah. Allah
may choose to punish you
and he may choose to forgive you. And
if he does choose to punish you, sooner
or later he will come out of the
hellfire. And even that, that's not a light
matter.
But can you see the difference brothers and
sisters?
The ta'weez is the messes sallallahu alaihi was
told is a type of shirk.
Right? The zodiac signs, for those who don't
know or parents,
snapchat,
that the kids have become so glued on.
I don't have Snapchat but screenshots were sent
to me.
Zodiac signs,
star signs,
astrology
that they have now so normalized, right?
Wallahi not so long ago,
a sister emailed in saying, that one of
the things that determined my husband to leave
me was because of star signs,
dynamo, and
and Dynamo,
and maybe even attending some of these
Britain's Got Talent programs and Barn Ahmed are
watching it, seher magic, going to a sorcerer
or a fortune teller, we find it intriguing.
Right?
So they don't know any
better. When the reality of the matter is
brothers and sisters, the messenger
Whoever visits a magician, then asks one question,
his prayer will not be accepted for 2
days. In another narration we are told, Whoever
Whoever visits a fortune teller or a sorcerer
and believes that which they say,
indeed he has disbelieved in what was sent
down
upon Allah subhanahu wa ta'ala.
What you learn from a young age, brother
and sisters, has a big impact in how
you shape your thoughts as you grow older.
May Allah Azza wa ji protect us all.
These are just some examples. Wallahi is some
examples.
And then you have the second component which
is what? To submit to Allah azza wa
jal in obedience.
When Allah azza wa jal tells us to
do something, brothers and sisters, we are governed
by Allah. We are his slaves. He is
the one that created us and we submit
our will to him.
And our actions, they follow-up
with what we believe in our hearts.
We're not part time Muslims.
Allah here, brother, reminded me yesterday,
of a tweet that I put out years
ago.
I put down on the tweet,
is it really fair brothers and sisters?
We have 24 hours in the day.
And we can't dedicate 1 percent of that
to Allah azza wa jal. Do you know
what 1 percentage, brothers and sisters, of 24
hours? It's 14 minutes
to reading the book of Allah azza which
is an easy thing to do.
Or 2% which is 28 minutes.
We can't dedicate that to Allah aza wa
jal.
Is that really really fair?
What have we become so occupied with, that
has busied us
from our creator?
And number 3 brothers and sisters,
To free yourself from shirk
and its people.
Right?
We've been hearing a lot in the last
couple of days, right, about the Abrahamic
Accord.
Brothers and sisters, I'm not saying that we
are against community cohesion,
or that
we entice hatred of violence or phobia towards
non Muslims, la la la la. I'm not
saying that.
Rather, what I'm saying is, brothers and sisters,
that which we read all the time.
I have my religion and I'm going to
practice it. I am not going to compromise
and water down
my religion,
that which is clear and evident in the
Quran
because you want to water it
down, O Jonathan Peterson.
Alayhis Gedalik. Isn't that so?
Right? I have my religion, I'm going to
practice it. I'm going to hold on to
it.
And if you wanna practice your religion the
way you do, that's entirely up to you.
But I've freed myself from all of the
what? Religions other than the religion of Islam,
and that's my choice, that's my religion.
The messenger sallallahu alaihi wa sallam told us
over 1400 years ago,
in an authentic narration narrated by Abu Majah,
he said, Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam,
akhwafumaakhafa'alaikum
amaluqawmi
Lord.
That which I fear the most for you
is
the practices of the people of Lot.
And again brothers and sisters, as a disclaimer,
I'm not enticing hatred, phobia, or violence towards
any minority group.
All that which I am doing is
quoting from the scripture,
and that which comes out of the horse's
mouth.
And as long as you quote the scripture
brothers and sisters, that which is in the
Qur'an,
you cannot be demonized, criminalized, or cancelled.
Just ask Jacob Rees Mogg, for those who
don't know. He's one of Boris Johnson's right
hand men,
was invited over to the good morning show,
and they interrogated him with questions.
However, as a Christian he held
onto his morals and his values and his
views
by quoting the scripture.
Why am I mentioning all of this, brothers
and sisters? It's reaching a point where one
hesitates
when he's asked about his gender. This is
the point that he's reaching to. It is
gedalik, isn't that so?
You ask him, are you straight? The guy
is shaken
because he wants to be politically correct and
he's scared of being counselled.
Last time I checked, brothers and sisters, we're
in a democratic country
that propagates freedom of speech.
No one is saying entice hatred. People are
just asking you, say what you believe according
to the scripture. So Jacob Riesemag is on
the good morning show and interrogating him with
questions. And he keeps on saying,
according to the teachings
of the church,
in his Scottish accent.
According to the teachings of the church,
this is not how
one lives his life.
But they wanted his views so they can
get him cancelled.
They holding on to their values and their
morals brothers and sisters, why is it that
we as Muslims
have to what? Let go of
the teachings of Allah as well, what is
mentioned in the Quran quite clearly and evidently.
You had the likes of Poland and also
Hungary.
In the Euros that recently passed, a couple
of years ago, I believe it was right.
Not recently, a couple of years ago.
They came out opening and they said, we
will not expose under eighteens
to the rainbows.
And then Germany decided to rub it in
their faces, and they lit up they lit
up the Munich stadium in the rainbow colors.
And again, I'm not expressing my views, I'm
just mentioning what's in the Quran.
Does that make sense brothers and sisters?
Also recently brothers and sisters, I came across
a couple of stats that I would like
to share with you.
There are, I believe,
367
Conservative
MPs in parliament.
More than half, a 136
of them, they voted against same * marriages.
I'm just quoting the BBC.
This is what they are saying,
but we as Muslims are forced to conform,
or we are put on
the back foot when it comes to our
morals and our values.
When we as Muslims, brothers and sisters, we
have been
honored with Al Islam as Umar bin Khattab
radiAllahu ta'ala Anhu said,
We are a people that have been honored
through Al Islam.
The moment we begin to desire other than
Islam, Allah will humiliate us.
Allah will humiliate us.
All I'm saying brothers and sisters, hold on
to your values.
Hold on to your values.
Right?
They are really trying the utmost best to
shove it down our throats and to rub
it on our faces.
You guys heard of Buzz Lightyear, right? One
of our favourite characters when growing up, from
Toys R Us.
There was a recent uproar,
because there was a scene in this cartoon
or in this whatever
movie. Right? A scene of
those from the same gender kissing one another.
Approximately a year ago, I opened Twitter and
I came across
how Batman, or I think it's Superman, one
of them,
is going to be exploring
his sexuality in the next comic series.
We have a huge responsibility, brothers and sisters,
when it comes to our religion, when it
comes to teaching our children,
and instilling, embedding, engraining within them
Islam.
